Honduran Adoption Ups and Downs!

Hi everyone!  Wanted to share an update...to prepare everyone for what to expect in Honduras....Our atty came to San Pedro Sula last evening, from Tegucigalpa, to secure our new birth certificates for our children (one born in San Pedro Sula and the twins were born in El Progreso---so we had to visit two registrar's offices).  She was sure we would be able to get them today.  This was exciting for me, because I have heard stories that didn't match with that!  In SPS, we were in and out in 5 minutes and the registrar said that everything in our packet (final adoption registered with the govt, two newspaper articles listing us as the children's new parents, copies of our identification, certified copy of the IHFNA placement, certified copy of the adoption decree and certified copy of the children's original birth certificate) looked good and that it should be ready around noon.  We then went to El Progreso and were told that the registrar would need to review it and locate the original registration and that she wasn't there yet (8:45 AM).  She FINALLY arrived at 11:25...five minutes before the lunch break (11:30-1:00).  After pleading, we were allowed to stay in the building...they removed everyone else and locked the doors.  At 12:25, they started talking to us....and gave us a copy of Jennifer's birth certificate...it was very emotional for us!!!  HOWEVER, when I looked it over, my passport number was wrong.  They fixed it and when they went to print...CRASH...the system went down!!!  We asked how long it might take to come back up and she said 1-2 hours - one month!!!  No JOKE!  Well, we called SPS and they said the system was down there, too.  We decided, at 1:30, that we had a friend in the worker at Progreso, so we'd better head to SPS to see if we could be there to get Cristofer's birth certificate when the computers came back online, because we were almost done in Progreso and we had her number to be in touch as we headed back!  It's FRIDAY...and of course, NO BIRTH CERTIFICATES...The computers never came back up...so, we took our atty back to the bus station to return to Teguc.  We hadn't eaten or used the restroom all day...we were exhausted, drained and stressed and it was raining CATS and DOGS all day.  So, we will leave for Teguc tomorrow.  The WORST part is that our atty will have to return on Monday, because she will have to be there to finalize the birth certificates.  Another day delayed...Trying to stay positive, but it was TOUGH!  Thanks for reading and praying!  We love you!!!
